Well of course THAT's going to work, you have all the processors listed there. The one that you need for the Cyrix 6x86 CPU is the following. YES that's the 486, the kernel will panic if you define only the 586. cpu "I486_CPU" My understanding is that by listing all of those processor types, the kernel is not optimized for your specific processor and is a bit slower. -----Original Message----- From: Dean Hollister [SMTP:dean@odyssey.apana.org.au] Sent: Saturday, October 31, 1998 9:14 AM To: ajk@mastigo4.demon.co.uk Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Cyrix 6x86 CPU > ---------- > From: Dean Hollister[SMTP:DEAN@ODYSSEY.APANA.ORG.AU] > Sent: Saturday, October 31, 1998 9:14:21 AM > To: ajk@mastigo4.demon.co.uk > Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Cyrix 6x86 CPU > Auto forwarded by a Rule > >How best should I enter a Cyrix 6x86 in the cpu "cpu_type" in the kernel >configuration file? The following in the kernel works fine. I detects it perfectly during probe at bootup: machine "i386" cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" cpu "I586_CPU" cpu "I686_CPU" Regards, d.
